Accept date

hello,

im using rasa 2.0

im trying to achieve the following:

accept date as text such as “in two days”, “tomorrow” , “august 15” …etc

i want to call spacy to find the DATE enteties in the text and then i use dateparses (i have issues installing duckling) to parse it and get the required date

in rasa.action validate i have written the following code

        nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
        doc = nlp(slot_value)
        checkin_date
        is_date_found = False

        for entity in doc.ents:
            if entity.label_ == "DATE":
                checkin_date = dp.parse(entity.text)
                is_date_found - True

im getting the following error:

OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en_core_web_sm'. It doesn't seem to be a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.

spacy must have been already loaded becuase it is configured in the pipeline but i dont know to get a reference to it, and there maybe a better way than my way but im not aware of

thank you for solutions.suggestions or better implementation ideas

Hi! :smiley:

I think you need to link

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
python -m spacy link en_core_web_sm en
